5 Garden Waste Clearance Tips And Tricks
Garden waste can add up rapidly, creating a huge mess that can make it much harder to enjoy your outdoor space. Whether you have been tidying up your garden or have carried out a full garden transformation, knowing how to deal with the various types of garden waste will save you lots of time and effort.
Below are our top 5 easy-to-follow garden waste clearance tips, so you can easily decide on the best course of action for getting rid of your garden rubbish.
Understand The Difference Between Light & Heavy Garden Waste
Before you start your garden waste clearance, you should be aware of what constitutes light and heavy garden waste. Light garden waste consists of:
Grass cuttings
Leaves
Weeds
Smaller hedge cuttings
Dead flowers and dead plants
Heavy garden waste includes:
Tree branches
Logs
Soil
Rubble
Fencing panels
Decking
Garden sheds
Shrubs or tree stumps
These items are significantly harder to move safely and, therefore, often require special handling and transportation.
Organise Your Garden Waste Before You Begin
Organising your garden waste before you begin can help speed up your garden waste disposal project. Sort your waste as you collect it to create two piles - smaller waste and bulkier items. Separating your garden waste allows a licensed garden waste disposal team to remove everything more effectively when they arrive at your home. It speeds up the collection process and reduces the likelihood of missing anything.
Remove Light Waste Regularly
Although grass clippings, leaves and hedge cuttings may appear innocuous initially, they can quickly occupy a significant amount of space in your garden. Regular garden waste clearance keeps your garden looking tidy and stops damp piles from becoming difficult to manage. If you have recently carried out a seasonal tidy-up or spent many weekends gardening, you could find that the amount of green waste is greater than you anticipated.
Leave Heavy Garden Waste To The Experts
As well as being cumbersome, heavy garden waste poses risks to individuals who attempt to lift it improperly. Large logs, broken fencing, paving stones, soil, decking, etc., can weigh hundreds of pounds, which greatly increases the possibility of injuring oneself when lifted incorrectly. Furthermore, moving heavy objects without a suitable vehicle is impractical.
Using a professional garden waste clearance service means that trained teams can safely collect and dispose of heavy materials quickly.
Find A Company That Can Collect All Forms Of Garden Waste
It is highly advisable that you select a licensed waste disposal company capable of removing both green waste and larger, heavier materials within a single visit. Experienced staff can collect everything from hedge cuttings and leaves to old shed material, old furniture and rubble from demolished structures, eliminating the need for individual collections or manually lifting and relocating heavy objects.
